Halloween is creeping up, and what better way to celebrate than with a chillingly good book? I've read all three of these and recommend each one. These books are perfect of any time of year, not just Halloween! If you're looking for some page-turners that will give you goosebumps without keeping you up all night, these middle grade novels are the perfect picks.
For a spooky adventure with heart
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman: Imagine being raised by ghosts in a graveyard! That's Nobody Owens' reality. This Newbery Award-winning story is both spooky and heartwarming, filled with fascinating characters and a unique setting. You'll be rooting for Nobody as he navigates the challenges of growing up in a world unlike any other.
For a dark fantasy that will stay with you
Coraline by Neil Gaiman: This one is a bit creepier, but oh-so-good! Coraline discovers a secret door that leads to a seemingly perfect version of her life. But things aren't always what they seem, and Coraline must be brave to escape this "other" world and return to her real family.
For classic Halloween fun with a touch of mischief
The Witches by Roald Dahl: Witches are real, and they despise children! This graphic novel is a wild ride with Dahl's signature dark humor. You'll be on the edge of your seat as a young boy tries to outsmart these wicked witches and save the children of England from a terrible fate.
If your child is a resistant reader, check out my short chapter book Hiding Out on Halloween where Avery Mcintosh is about to find out what a black cat, an invisibility potion, and one scary night in a graveyard have in common.

These books offer a perfect blend of spooky fun and captivating storytelling, making them ideal for middle-grade readers who enjoy a touch of Halloween magic without being overly frightened. So grab a flashlight, snuggle under a blanket, and get ready to be enchanted by these thrilling tales!
